pronounce

[Kian2]

hi there;
i am a bit confused about pronounciation ...
i use "english-test" and "VOA", in some words they are different such as "often, aid, either, ...", i dunno which one is true !!
is there anyone who lights a candle in this darkness ?!
regards,
kian

If by VOA you mean 'Voice of America' and you mean that you listen to the pronunciation of words on both sites and they sound different, this is probably due to country or regional accents. The likelihood is that both pronunciations are acceptable. However, you would have to provide specific examples for us to advise any further.

Other things to bear in mind:
The pronoun 'I' is always written as a capital letter.
Sentences always begin with a capital letter.
'Don't know', not 'dunno'.

First of all thanks to reply. I have to confess that I am careless in writting, I don't know why, maybe I used to chat and i've learned english from people who write fast and not perfect (for example "idk = I don't know, w8 = wait, n = and, ...). Another point that you look strict teacher and made me a bit scared from your words which contained no sweet words to make me hopeful, haha !

In college, we studied British English, but i want to learn and speak American. So the pronounciation of many words are different and how can i learn fast.
